If I was your friend I'd post the link to the racing but Majope cleverly posted the link on the front page yesterday, use it! Derny drivers, american blues and who knows what more surprises they will have in store for us. Stand up Stand up. Stand up. Seventy five times, Stand up. Must not be giving me credit for two letter words because they want me to write a whole lot more before I can post. Is there anyone else who wants to stand up for Six Day races?

STANDING UP!
Can’t wait for the action to start. Now all I need is a few cold beers to make it a worthy experience. It’s Friday, so it’s okay to start drinking at 2:30pm, right?
It's the holidays too! Celebrate to your hearts content.

Aye!
Finshing a semester is a good reason to celebrate too. Especially with six day races.

I think this guy hasn't figured out lip syncing yet.
Gotta turn on the sound.

Is that cigarette smoke or fumes from the dernies the riders get to choke on?
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
Either way
it looks positively delicious nasty. God bless trackies for putting up with it.

50 years and still going strong for La Bamba

I wonder if this guys got a bunny hop on that bike.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
Here you guys are. :-)
Looked earlier but didn’t see a thread started.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Apparently we need to be self starters.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
And normally I am all over that but work is making it harder to do.
Thank You!!

Found out some info on Holloway's partner...
Colby is usually with Daniel but he fell and broke his collarbone at the Munich ‘six’. Daniel’s partner here is Sebastien Siedler, one of those involved in the crash in Munich.
Thought that was kind of interesting.

I might need to head home
so I can get full video. Audio is lacking a bit today, especially with out the gang chatting it up here. :-(
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
I hear that. Have a safe drive home.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
May be a short while before I can head out so I'll be here for a bit yet.
I’ll be back on for sure once home and get the video up and streaming. :-)

Where's Will?
Oh I see him, he’s on stage playing guitar. Moo
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
Too bad the stage is by the smoking section.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
This music has me thinking about some cheese.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
How can Holloway go that fast with out hanging on to something?

Points race going on now.
Trying to sort out who’s scoring the points but looks like same few the last couple sprint laps.
This last one was total photo finish. Wow.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Ah, thank you.
I was considering consulting the programme… but Schweizerdeutsch before coffee, I think not. Bryan Adams?!
MOOOOORNING!
Oh wow, Daddy Cool over breakfast. Soooo cool.
Total photo finish for results on these points laps. Speedsters!

What the hell does Daniel have on his head?

Daniel is getting the crowds into this :-)
I wish I could screen shot this. He’s out there playing quitar to Summer of 69. Hilarious!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
He's grinning ear to ear. Very fun for him.

Riders doing a mexican wave around the track...
You’re missing out, Seahorse!
What is that about? Any idea? I can ask his peeps but may not find out until tomorrow.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
I sent Daniel a tweet and I'll email my connection too if he doesn't respond when he gets off the track.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
On Daniel's stream you can see the people in the pit getting into it.
Very funny.

Isn't the last race with the moto bikes?
I thought it was the same schedule everyday, no?
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
LOL! So glad to have you enjoying it to stay!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
It tends to happen that way...
… you wander in to the six-day just to have a quick look and satisfy your curiosity, and before you know it hours have passed and you’re exhausted from standing up for the champions (and probably have a Boney M song stuck in your head)…
He won the sprint for that race and thus won that one.

It's the derny race. The bikes work with the rider to get serious speeds with the drafting done.

Experience mostly.
The riders will yell at the driver if they are not tuned in.

The other night Daniel's drive ran out of gas and they were in the lead.
Daniel tried to go for it but there were too many laps left and he got sucked up by the field.

From Daniel to our T-Shirt question...,
It is a fan club t-shirt for Franco Marvuli. We mess around at the 6’s together. I give him a hard time for being a pretty boy.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
These are exhausting nightly races but Daniel loves it.
He looks so at home at them. Great to see him smiling so much and having a good time. :-)

There are lap cards (usually) at the finish line the riders can watch as they pass by.
On a point lap or one lap to go for a race, you will always here a bell or distinct sound of some sort alerting everyone it is a points lap or finish.

I want to know why this "Derny" is different than the other derny?
Why the roll bar in the back? and the drivers stand here.
Most derney's had the bar so a rider couldn't hit the wheel (I believe)
The keirin is one bike, all riders, this is a driver per rider.

Daniel just said this is the stayer race.
He’s sending shout outs on his stream. Pretty funny.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Zoe - Daniel has the rides on his stream for you. So funny!
He went and got Franco! LOL!!!!

He went and got Franco. That is what I call fan service!!!

Time to multi task....
I’ve got live stream up left corner, Daniel’s lower left, PdC on right. Twitter on phone. I have so missed live racing!!!!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Miss and out is coming up after this is done. Daniel is riding it.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
At set lap numbers, the last rider to cross the line is eliminated.
Until there are I think they do 3 riders here where they have a nuetral lap and then sprint for the win.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
I like these. Easy to score and fun to watch.
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
When you hear the bell...
The next time around, you do not want to be last or you are out.

The Cafe has reached new limits today. We got personal service at the race - LIVE.
I’m still laughing!!!

We're watching the madison. Woo hoo!
My favorite!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Yep. These three are sprinting for the win.

Or not... I'm confused. I thought that was the final lap.
Daniel is back on his stream now. :-)

Here's a good section to take note of...
All Tracks Are Not Created Equal
Front forks are reversed and a 600 front wheel fitted to get the rider in close behind the pacer, the distance the roller is set behind the pace bike is set according to the track; on a slower track the roller will be set further back so as the slip-streaming affect is not as pronounced; on a big, fast track the roller will be closer to the motor bike enabling higher speeds to be achieved.

I've missed this so I plan on watching it too. :-) Gotta get it when I can.

And with that we are done for the day.
If anyone is around I believe this runs same time (afternoons) for us both Saturday and Sunday. :-)

Oh noooo!
The racing can’t end now! That means that I have to start doing constructive things :-(
Great finish guys.
I’m becoming a bigger fan of Danny Holloway aka Hollywood.

Hey look what I found in my email...
Got this from the Holloway Fam tonight! Love It!

If you change the date in the link, you can see the past couple days. :-)

No No No
Pg.15 You have to match the rider’s face to the rider’s butt. I’m guessing that could be the all the latest rage when the next hottitude thread goes up.
Thanks for sharing that Nikki.
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
There is some serious heclking material in that bit!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
I knew you guys would love that letter!
Very surprised you flew right over the eurodancers on page 9 though.
We should start tomorrow’s thread with that page. See how many get it right. ha ha!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
Heh, on page 11 "Die zwei schönsten Glarner in Zürich"
there’s a little report on Mister Switzerland’s visit to the sixday, pic of him & Marvulli described as “the two handsomest men of the canton of Glarus.”
Ted always gives us a direct link when he has one, so...
maybe this isn’t one….
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ha! I knew there was an explanation,,,
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Oh my word....is it my imagination
or is there a quiz at the end of that where you have to identify people’s bottoms?!
Please make it so... I think I have a chance
Bottoms and Scrabble… I’m a woman of many parts. But if Klodi’s bum’s not there I’m sulking ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I think they're all 6 day riders.
There is one in horrid chess board shorts and Franco does not feature but it’s worth a look if you have nothign better to do ;-)
Your challenge is to make one (a similar puzzle) for the road season.
Maybe even for each race, have fun!
"Drawing on my fine command of language I said nothing."- Groucho
The Hottitude thread stepped up to new levels!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
So upset I've missed the first three days! I'll be with you tonight...
…after the Strictly Come Dancing final, which actually I might boycott as the public have eliminated the person who should have been in the final in favour of someone who is nothing like good enough to be there.
Oh, and mmmmm Franco!
